I remember watching that gold medal game vs Spain live. The best game I've ever watched. International basketball just makes it mean that much more

Bill Simmons wrote a column (I can't find it anymore, for some reason) that it was one of the best games he's ever seen.

The NBA would be much better off adopting some FIBA-style rules.
 
Wasn't Rubio 16 in that 08 game?
I remember Rudy poo'ing all over Dwight.

Edit: damn, 17, he still looks the same

It was great watching Wade at his best.

Too bad that knee looking like a plastic yellow wiffle ball bat now..

Maybe back against the wall no lebron hell show out n reclaim the thrown in Miami
 
i let the fam watch all the chirstmas movies on christmas eve.... on christmas day its all basketball, because im the one that is smoking the 2 prime rib roast...
 
Lettuce please stop with the top 3 AD talk. Son isn't even top 10 today. Very bright future though.

Those Team USA highlights made me shed a tear. Wow Dwyane has fallen so far from grace.

I'll be glued to the television on Christmas Day :smile:

Today is schedule day! Yay! :D

Knicks might make playoffs. No one should be THAT surprised, if they do. Watch out for Boston y'all. Rondo is 100% healthy & will begin the season, along with Jeff Green, Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart, James Young, Gerald Wallace, and Evan Turner. They can sneak in with 37-39 wins and a losin' record.

Demarcus really dropped an R&B album? :lol:

John Wall is mad salty. Son, isn't even that good. I've always thought he was overrated.

I remember Brandon Jennings was suppose to be the new generations Jewelz. Son had the tools but I think the NBA lifestyle and distractions have swayed him from hard work and dedication to his profession. I think Brandon got Milwaukee in the post season during his rookie season? (I may be incorrect.) I honestly believe he's alot better than he's shown.

Blake is not the best power forward in the NBA. He's been Kevin Love since like 12'. Blake & KD are the most "talented/high ceiling" players in the world, but Blake is not better than Kevin right now.

I wanna see the Lakers make playoffs but it's looking quite difficult.
 
Bill Simmons to host Grantland-branded show for ESPN

Grantland, ESPN's digital outlet that focuses on sports, entertainment and pop culture, and the intersections therein, will get its own branded TV series on ESPN, "The Grantland Basketball Show," the network said Tuesday.

Grantland founder Bill Simmons will host the show, joined by a rotating panel of commentators and contributors, starting Oct. 21 at 8 p.m. ESPN will air as many as 18 one-hour episodes this season, including specials tied to the N.B.A. playoffs and draft.

ESPN is calling the program "the first Grantland-branded television series," implying that more may follow, marking a significant expansion of the digital franchise, which launched in 2011.

In March of this year, ESPN bundled Grantland, FiveThirtyEight and ESPN Films, into a new unit, Exit 31. The division combined the brands' resources, which are outside of the bread and butter sports coverage of ESPN, and also served to find ways to more effectively monetize them beyond digital display advertising.

Turning Grantland and FiveThirtyEight into TV and film franchises could be an effective way to do that.

“It really is about figuring out how to bring these other talents and other disciplines to bear on ESPN, and even ABC News a little bit through our FiveThirtyEight relationship with them,” Marie Donoghue, ESPN's senior V.P. of global strategy, business development and business affairs, and the executive in charge of Exit 31, told Capital at the time. “We will look for the best, most effective way to tell the stories, and not necessarily be governed by which platform we are working on.”

While "The Grantland Basketball Show" may be the first original program to come from Exit 31, it does not sound like it will be the last.

As long as the production is more like Grantland media and less like NBA Countdown, it should be good.
 
You guys can have you sham holiday and all the fakeness that comes with it. Christmas can kick rocks.
 
Settle down Anti :lol: :smh:

It's alright bruh, I'll personally send you a gift if it's that bad for you.

Slow news day when Steph saying he's a better offensive player than LeBron makes the news. He definitely isn't.

Damn nephew, Santa pissed in your cheerios and then took a dump in your bowl of oatmeal on Xmas morning?? Blame it on all the milk and cookies he consumed before getting to your house, nothing personal, he could've left a lump of coal in your autographed Mario Elie socks instead.

I don't think any team will match the pure athleticism/Havoc of the '08 squad for a while. So damn overwhelming when they turned on the pressure defense

These types of moments are why Wade will always be top 10 to me personally.

Too bad he became a scumbag :lol:

Kobe though :smokin

So sad to see both of their careers ending out like this, but they're both champions so.. :smokin


That team was too much for the world. We probably won't see anything like this again in a long time.
 
NBA willing to drop the fine if the Raptors drop Drake. I'm starting to like Adam Silver more and more :smokin

Dont give in Raptors. Thats madness, no one else has ever been threatened with a firing for "tampering" of such a minor scale. You'll be setting a bad precedent.
